Trail Ride

At Beaver's Bend there were so many fun things to do. The kids most Favorite was the morning we went horseback riding. The trail ride was about 45 minutes and it was full of exciting events. Some of which left me wondering if we should have had helmets on.
The horse Mia and I were on apparently didn't get along real well with the horse ahead of us, Ty's horse. So at one point our horse tried to take a little nibble of Ty's horse and his turned and kicked. The horse wanted to kick our horse but kicked me instead.

David's horse had a mind of it's own and would much rather forge his own path. It took a lot of work to keep him in line and away from the front of the pack. David ate a few tree branches but eventually got a good grip on him.
Ty and Trent's horse stopped for a break and then when they realized they were far away from the group, sprinted quickly ahead. That surprised all of us but especially Trent and Ty. I thought they would be scared but Ty just laughed and laughed.

We also saw a few deer grazing in the forest and that was really neat to be so close to them.

The last "event" was waddling back to the camper and Mia's scream of panic. When she finally calmed down enough to talk we realized she had a tick on her stomach. It was quite the adventure getting that tick to let go, If I was the tick I think I'd have let go just to avoid all the screaming...good times, good times...
